WBB1-8704 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The WBB1-8704 is a metric single row deep groove ball bearing engineered for precision applications requiring compact dimensions and reliable performance. Constructed entirely from stainless steel, it offers excellent corrosion resistance. This open-type bearing is designed primarily for radial loads and is characterized by its high limiting speed and P0 tolerance class, making it suitable for high-speed, low-noise operations in demanding environments.
WBB1-8704 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| WBB1-8704 | Manufacturer's specific series designation for this miniature bearing series. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No seals or shields, allowing for higher speeds and easy re-lubrication, but requiring a clean operating environment. |
| P0 (Tolerance Class) | Standard dimensional and running accuracy per ISO standards. |
| CN (Radial Internal Clearance) | Normal radial internal clearance group. |
| None (Lubrication) | Supplied without lubrication, allowing the user to apply a lubricant suitable for the specific application. |
WBB1-8704 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- Compact and Lightweight Design: With a bore diameter of 3 mm, outside diameter of 9 mm, and a width of just 2.5 mm, this bearing is ideal for space-constrained miniature and instrument applications. Its low weight of 0.0007 kg minimizes inertial forces.
- High-Speed Capability: The open construction and optimized stainless steel cage contribute to a high limiting speed of 90,000 rpm, making it an excellent choice for high-speed applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: All components, including rings, balls, and cage, are made from stainless steel, providing reliable operation in humid or corrosive environments and ensuring long service life.
- Precision Performance: Manufactured to P0 tolerance class with a CN radial clearance, this bearing ensures consistent and smooth running, which is critical for precision mechanisms.
